The GQI Community

Our community consists of many of New York’s leading judges,
practitioners, court personnel, and other professionals concerned with legal
issues that impact individuals with diminished mental capacity and their
families.

ALLI has entered into an agreement with the New York State Office
of Court Administration which ensures that all New York State guardianship
judges and court attorneys dedicated to guardianships will have access to GQI programs
and materials.

Rose Mary Bailly, the primary draftsperson of Article 81 of New
York’s Mental Hygiene Law governing the appointment of guardians will not only
participate in ALLI’s educational programs, she has also agreed to work with us
as we consider amendments to Article 81.

Recognized expert practitioners Fern Finkel and Ira Salzman have
helped facilitate the development of GQI and serve as Co-Chairs of the Advisory
Committee – an evolving panel comprised of dedicated and experienced
practitioners throughout New York State.

The Advisory Committee will meet via telephone/video conferencing
on a periodic basis to discuss content development and revisions to Article 81.

We invite all guardianship attorneys to become active members of
our community.
